Welcome to Bihar Yoga Bharati

“Everyone’s good wishes are working. My guru, Swami Sivanandaji,
conceived the vision of a Yoga Vedanta Forest University. Now the decision
has been taken. This new educational institution will be called Bihar
Yoga Bharati because I want to make it clear that I have immense gratitude
towards Bihar, the place where yoga has again emerged”.
Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati

The
realization of a saints vision... shining jewel-like on a hilltop
overlooking the Ganga, Bihar Yoga Bharati (BYB) is dedicated to the study
of yoga in a gurukul environment, providing a spiritual oasis in the technological
desert of the 21st century.

Swami Sivananda first had the vision of a yoga institute when he established
the Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy in Rishikesh. This inspiration was carried
forward by Swami Satyananda, who established Bihar School of Yoga in 1963,
followed by the Ganga Darshan complex in Munger. Swami Niranjanananda,
with the blessings of his predecessors, founded Bihar Yoga Bharati in
1994 in order to preserve and regenerate the total scope of yogic science
by combining academic and scientific methodology with a spiritual vision.

BYB has been established along the lines of Nalanda and Vikramshila,
two great spiritual centres of learning. It will continue the work started
by these ancient centres as a path-finder for the current and future spiritual
awakening of people throughout the world, in the spheres of Yoga, Vedanta,
Tantra and other allied subjects. BYB offers scholars, scientists, doctors
and yoga aspirants from all parts of the world a golden opportunity to
work together to formulate a scientific basis for the growth, expansion
and rapid integration of yoga into modern society.
